Tbirds filled one of their overage spots this morning by announcing a trade for Left Wing Devon LeBlanc.
Seattle traded a conditional 5th round selection in the 2009 draft to the Raiders for the 1988 born native of Brandon, MB. No doubt the "condition" is that he makes the team but that seems to be a pretty solid bet. LeBlanc will be attending New York Rangers training camp this fall.
Last season with the Raiders LeBlanc had 17 goals and 14 assists, both career highs and he stands at 6'2" and is listed at 204 pounds.
This isn't the big splash move fans typically clamor for but LeBlanc is a good sized kid and certainly fills multiple needs as he plays wing and will be a 20 year old.
Seattle still has 2 overage spots remaining.
